Abstract

The female of Allocapnia oribata Poulton & Stewart, 1987 is newly associated by tree- and genetic distance-based phylogenetic methods using the mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I gene barcode fragment sequence data. The first description of the female and an emended description of the male of A. oribata are presented. Supporting data includes color images, scanning electron micrographs, and genetic analysis of DNA barcodes. Corrections to the holotype and paratype localities are presented with the help of B.C. Poulton. Additional notes on the phylogeny and endemism of Allocapnia Claassen, 1928 are provided.
